1 month ago

The evolution of the Deer Hunter franchise is coming soon

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Glu Mobile Inc. (NASDAQ: GLUU), a leading developer and publisher of
mobile games, today announced it is developing the next generation of
the company’s successful Deer Hunter franchise. The game is currently
being developed by the same studio behind Glu’s Tap Sports Baseball
franchise, the #1 Top Grossing baseball game on mobile. The upcoming
mobile shooter looks to build upon the success of previous Deer Hunter
titles which have generated more than a quarter billion downloads since
Glu acquired the IP in 2012.

With the addition of high fidelity graphics as well as brand new social
and competitive features to deepen player engagement and drive community
– the new title aims to offer the most immersive and authentic hunting
experience on mobile.

“The game will incorporate updated graphics and animations, more
opportunities for player progression and collection, and a deeper meta
layer alongside an existing and proven game mechanic that our fans
love,” said Glu CEO Nick Earl. “We’re looking forward to pairing Deer
Hunter’s download potential with a more exciting, deeper and realistic
experience for our players.”

Currently slated to be released in beta in late 2019, Glu will provide
additional information on the game’s development and worldwide launch at
a later date.
